I'll add this here:

Partial summary. Google ReCaptcha doesn't just check if you're human, it identifies you as a specific individual and tracks your travels across the Internet (e.g. including sites with Google captcha logins). When you use their recaptcha, they also place / update a Google cookie to remember where you individually have been / your activities. They use a mix of fingerprinting techniques (anonymity-defeating techniques), including examining all info about your browser, including which browser addons you have installed. In other words, it's Google. Edited by Mk15dap3sLVLghnQfIzftlkNU4

I had major issues with the captcha mechanism on my gaming machine. When enabling the audio, it doesn't match what's on the screen...

After several attempts with & without the audio clues, I gave up.

This was yesterday, but today no issues of course logging in & did not have to fill out that silly captcha rubbish

 

Very odd!.

Well new problem found, the second recaptcha (the one with number challenge) just keeps giving me error of my code being wrong every time reloading doesn't work and I have to restart my whole browser and reconnect my net to get first recaptcha (the one with a blue arrow) and then I'm finally able to login

Don't think it's properly working for me

We made some changes to the system over the last couple of days so it should be working as expected for everyone now.
